Being Prepared
Blog post from Craig Roberts, PA-C, MS, former chair of the ACHA Emerging Public Health Threats and Emergency Response Coalition discussing how college health centers can be prepared for infectious disease outbreaks.

While the risk of Ebola is very low within the general U.S.
population and on college campuses, institutions of higher education are
developing plans to ensure they are well prepared for a potential case.
This careful preparation can mitigate the risk a case may present to
the campus community. Timely and accurate communications can reduce
community concerns. This presentation provides an overview of Ebola preparedness for
senior student affairs and campus health leaders. Considerations
discussed include communications, international travel, screening of
travelers, and incident management structures.
